Emerald is designed to bill up front for services. You can put a
permament
30 day extend on a customer, to simulate it billing for the current
month.
Because Emerald is designed to bill for upcoming services, there are not
delinquent reports included with it. The 2.5 release has a different
format for this, which does allow for balance forward type situations,
which is really what you are doing here.
